    There is zero reason we should want Hunter back if we are also the favorites for Pope. I still think Mitchell makes some sense if we add somebody like Avila and Garrison doesn't want to come here. Mitchell can be the athletic 4 to pair with Avila (a more skilled big) and Shedrick (a more prototypical 5). I would prefer Garrison and Avila though but that seems unlikely

    Last year's backcourt: Abmas (6'0 and that's generous), Hunter (6'0), Weaver (6'3). Next year's backcourt: Weaver (6'3), Johnson (6'5), Mark (6'6), Larry (6'3), and maybe Pope (6'2). Fairly obvious that RT was tired of being that small last year.

    It's also just a terrible fucking argument. Garrison, Avila, Mark, and Pope are all considered top transfers. None made the tournament this past season. I guess we shouldn't add any of these guys.

    Blaming last year's roster on the players RT added from the portal also seems like a really bad argument. IMO, 2 of the top 3 players on last year's team were players added by RT (Abmas and Weaver). Texas didn't reach their ceiling last year because they were expecting Hunter and Mitchell to be much better and they simply weren't. If anything, I blame last season on not being more active in the portal and recruiting over somebody like Mitchell with Kaluma.

    1) Weaver? You mean Mark who is one of the best transfers in the portal. 2) Only a complete moron wouldn't think that Larry is a positive addition. Schools like Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Kansas State, and TCU all had legit interest. But I'll take your word over Scott Drew and Bill Self. Unless you're referring to last year's roster which makes no sense in the context of Lonestar's response.

    This is funny but a lot of people actually watched that Indiana State team last year. They were really fun with Avilla and those guards. The NCAA committee should be ashamed they let a sorry-ass Virginia team make the tournament over a team like Indiana State.
  8. Rickylovesweed
    @utfan87just sees a player from Indiana State and thinks they suck. That Indiana State team was legit last year which is why a lot of big programs want Larry and Avila.
  9. Rickylovesweed
    You're right, Julian Larry sucks. It's why Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, etc reached out to him and several were trying to get a visit.

    Indiana State should have made the tournament and finished top 40 in Kenpom. This is a really bad argument.
  11. Rickylovesweed
    When adding two starters from a Kenpom top 40 team are your 2nd and 3rd best additions of the day you know it was a pretty good day.
  12. Rickylovesweed
    Garrison and Avila would be ideal. An athletic big and then a more skilled big. Seems unlikely both would come here though but I guess never say never.
  13. Rickylovesweed
    Texas added two starters from a Kenpom top 40 team (Larry and Kent) and then one of the best players in the portal (Mark). Can't ask for a much better day. Add Pope and we should be good at guard and then go get a couple of bigs.
  14. Rickylovesweed
    Our backcourt could be insane next year with Larry, Pope, Johnson, Mark, and Weaver. Mark and Johnson would obviously get quite a few minutes at the 3 too.
  15. Rickylovesweed
    Larry makes a ton of sense with those other guards. Floor general to add around a bunch of other guards that can score.
  16. Rickylovesweed
    Julian Larry to Texas. There is our PG type. Pretty damn good day for Texas. Larry makes a ton of sense with the rest of those guards who are scorers. Now we have a floor general around a bunch of scorers.
  17. Rickylovesweed
    You just got your wish.
  18. Rickylovesweed
    26th and that's probably too low if Texas adds Pope. That backcourt would be one of the best in the country between Pope, Weaver, Mark, and Johnson.
  19. Rickylovesweed
    A backcourt of Weaver, Mark, Johnson, and Pope would be pretty damn good. It's obvious that RT was not a fan of that small backcourt last year with Abmas/Hunter.
  20. Rickylovesweed
    For people wondering why Texas was ranked where they were in the preseason rankings now you know why. They knew Texas would go buy players in the portal.
  21. Rickylovesweed
    How many of our losses have come against dominant pitchers? Canady, Berzon, Kilfoyl, and Maxell? Don't think Baylor has an arm of this caliber. Stating the obvious here, but feels like you are going to need a legit ace to beat this Texas team.
  22. Rickylovesweed
    Can't walk this many hitters but they've been effectively wild tonight. Baylor hasn't put together many good swings at all.
  23. Rickylovesweed
    I don't know why everything has to be a slight at RT. Pope beat several good teams at home this year and then once again accomplished nothing. Somehow Kentucky hiring Pope (0 NCAA tournament wins in 9 years) turned into a bash RT thread who has won 4 NCAA tournament games in the last 2 years.
  24. Rickylovesweed
    Pope has made the NCAA tournament 2 times in 8 seasons (not including Covid year) and knocked out both times in the 1st round by a double digit seed. Maybe this works but this is about as bad a hire a blue-blood can make.

    Gardiner is legit. I think she's probably even undervalued at #6. Her 3 point % and FT percentage at somebody her size and as a Sophomore is pretty damn special. If she just played more minutes at Oregon State she would be a much bigger name.
